I think UTI's traffic started crashing after DarkSyde wrote his post about What it Feels Like to be an Atheist (which got >100 comments), and I know for a fact that Reclusive Leftist's comment threads got a lot drier after Violet drove me away with her sex-negativism.Alon Levyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12195377309045184452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19053670.post-1157265208403242032006-09-02T23:33:00.000-07:002006-09-02T23:33:00.000-07:00Hey Freckle Face Girl!!!Exactly!!!If you only disc...Hey Freckle Face Girl!!!<BR/><BR/>Exactly!!!<BR/><BR/>If you only discuss with people who agree with you, you have no motivation to think about your own position.<BR/><BR/>Hey Eric!!!<BR/><BR/>It looks like it's true that controversy increases traffic. Other things I've found that increase traffic are humor, book reviews (weird but true), and especially leaving interesting comments on other blogs.<BR/><BR/>If you'd like to discuss this same topic on your own blog, please feel free to link to my blog entries on the subject. :DC.

I don't mind if people disagree with me either as long as it doesn't get ugly. When some people get frustrated while expressing their strong opinions, they turn to personal attacks. To me, that is ridiculous.Freckle Face Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324960438835000817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19053670.post-1157071509603440542006-08-31T17:45:00.000-07:002006-08-31T17:45:00.000-07:00I just see it as one of those things I can take or...I just see it as one of those things I can take or leave at this point in my life. My buddy at work was telling me how him and his German wife download German Porn because it's so much better than American. It just cracks me up. My first wife and I watched porn and used toys, but now like I said. Who knows maybe if the wife gives up the Mormon thing it would all change???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19053670.post-1157052170479786442006-08-31T12:22:00.000-07:002006-08-31T12:22:00.000-07:00Hey AZ Expositor!!!Hope you get some good news for...Hey AZ Expositor!!!<BR/><BR/>Hope you get some good news for date night!!! ;-)<BR/><BR/>As for porn, it's okay not to be into it -- that's perfectly normal too. :D<BR/><BR/>Hey Sideon!!!<BR/><BR/>As we say in French: <I>chiche !</I> ;-)C.

I was really into it before joining the church and I have not missed it so now I don't feel an urge for it just because I am free of the morg.<BR/><BR/>My TBM wife did mention she may be up for a trip to a local adult store for some "fun" stuff. I am not sure what "fun" means to her but if this is involved in a date night, count me in!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19053670.post-1157049568312273672006-08-31T11:39:00.000-07:002006-08-31T11:39:00.000-07:00Hey JLO!!!It's amazing how blogging encourages and...Hey JLO!!!<BR/><BR/>It's amazing how blogging encourages and trains people to express themselves, isn't it? You see how you can take the randomest topics and make something out of them. :D<BR/><BR/>Thanks Sideon!!!<BR/><BR/>You're right, it really wasn't conflict -- it was a very civil exchange of ideas. That's why it was so strange to me how stressed I was about the whole thing.<BR/><BR/>That would be so cool if you posted some artful nudes on your site!!! Then maybe I'd be encouraged to follow suit. ;-)C. L.

You're brave and honest and I admire that.<BR/><BR/>*grin* I've been debating about moving my blog to our home site. No, I won't be posting pictures of me in swim suits, but I wouldn't be opposed to artistic black and white nudes :) Maybe a strategically placed fig leaf?<BR/><BR/>I don't see the conversations and comments as "conflict". I see the other's posts as discussions. We're all pieces of the tapestry, each expressing our thread and unique color or texture.Sideonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00563675498159890372noreply@blogger.com
